A demultiplexer may assemble view components of sub-bitstreams. In one example, an apparatus comprises a demultiplexer that produces a multiview video coding (MVC) standard compliant bitstream from a received bitstream comprising a primary sub-bitstream and an embedded sub-bitstream. To produce the MVC standard compliant bitstream, the demultiplexer determines whether a view component of the primary sub-bitstream has a view order index that is greater than a view order index of a view component of the embedded sub-bitstream, and to add the view component from the sub-bitstream for which the view order index is lower to the produced bitstream. The received bitstream may comprise delimiter network abstraction layer (NAL) units between each view component to differentiate the view components. The apparatus may further comprise a video decoder to decode the bitstream produced by the demultiplexer.
